plaintive gentleman with red face and

very nicely with the other boarders until
the time comes to serve around the slabs
of dyspepsia which are called by cour-
tesy, pie. Then Mr.. B. Woods. which
he may be called for the purpose of this
story, leans rearward in his chair and
reaches into the folds of his pants for
something that he seems to have imme-
diate use for. He brings it to the sur
face, and behold it is iack-knife, big
enough to kill hogs with. He opens the
large blade, and curdles the blood Of
everybody present by plunging the
steel into his gums. They expect to see
him fall back dead, bleeding from every

poisoning. Occasionally an aniline pen
Gil is used. A German litterateur of this
city,who weighs 200 bS.avoirdupois, has
the habit of picking his teeth with an
aniline pencil, with the result that his
teeth are constantly tinged with violet,
and look like the painted finger nails of
Chinese belle.
One of the most disgusting though of
all the tO0thpicking tricks which are
capable of treatment in a newspaper
article is that of a man who picks a
straw from the floor of a street car or
plucks one from broom, and without
reference to its previous condition of
servitude sticks it between his front
teeth and tickleS his gums with it. The
woman who carries nickelS and other
coins in her mouth is not more revolving

or street-car straw toothpick deserves
to be eternally banished. 1t is not a
sufficiently cleanly implement for n
sertion in the mouth, and if choice must
be made between it and the fork, the
jack-knife, the lead pencil, the hairpin,
the other pin and the pudding-headed
thumb, any one of these instruments is
preferable, particularly if the stomachs
of the witnesses to the Offense are at all
